I don’t post much here, and I need to be better about that.
My puppy, Kyoto, had a serious injury from a piece of wood and had to have $4000 in surgery to save her life.
Please help me pay for this unexpected surgery if you can. The whole story is in the GoFundMe.
Thx!!!

I've been working hard on my Vectorworks skills this slow season and am proud to have these completed.
If you need any drawings or 3D venue modeling done please let me know. The attached drawing is from a model I drew by hand from architectural plans and on-site measurements.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Hey @democrats.org! You are very quickly losing my vote. Doing anything meaningful against Trump’s destruction of this country is NOT how to get my vote.
We need more Rep. Al Green and fewer popsicle stick signs.

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board.
Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Bingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING.
It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.

Another bewildering day in American politics. If you looking for some historical context, check out Rob Parkinson's thoughtful piece at Commonplace. It highlights the story of bewilderment and a chaos agent in 1770s Pittsburgh in the days before the Revolution. 🗃️

Circumstances in which people are feeling extreme disorientation are potent breeding grounds for people who are willing to exploit it to take advantage in moments of crisis.
